If your love was an ocean

If your love was an ocean
I’d go swimming everyday.
I’d build myself a proper ship
and in your waves I’d stay.

If your love was an ocean
I’d lose myself at sea.
No tide could take me back to shore.
No land could entice me.

If your love was an ocean
all I would see is blue.
I’d let myself go under
and drown myself in you.
